| As I made clear above I do not agree with the idea that students should take on debt in order to get their education: but that is the system we now have. Today the Guardian reports that the government is actively considering a retrospective change to the student loan agreements so that former students will have to pay higher interest on their debt http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/20...k?commentpage=1They already changed the law retrospectively so that their illegal sanctions on those on benefits were rendered legal. Seems that is to be expanded to contracts: for surely a loan agreement is a contract. Once again a contract with the government is treated differently when it suits them. Yet the law of contract is one of the few things the neoliberal plutocrats think government is there to enforce For those of you who are still convinced that a university education is worth the financial cost you might wish to think again. We are about to return to the days when university education was only available to the children of the rich, which suits the plutocrats just fine. Another step on the road to feudalism, methinks. |
